The Monaco GP is one of the most historic racing destinations in the history of Formula 1. The race has been held in Formula 1 ever since the sport’s inception back in 1950 and hasn’t been off the calendar since 1955, except for 2020 due to Covid-19. Now, an incredibly detailed mini version of the GP has surfaced online and fans share their opinion over it.

Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg created the mini version of the circuit at a scale of 1:87th. The team had to shorten the entire circuit, stretching over 3.37 km, down to just 36 square meters for the miniature version, which was a big task. The mini version includes the Marina, the Prince’s Palace, The Casino, and all the other buildings in and around the circuit of Monaco GP with detailed precision.

Additionally, the miniature track has a miniature version of Formula 1 car racing on the circuit. The McLaren chassis is leading the pack and racing through the slow turns and corners of the Monaco circuit. The cars are moving through a magnetic field under the cars to move across the track in a racing manner. Building the miniature version of the iconic track required a lot of work and patience, so fans shared a mix of opinions over the creation.

Fans shared their opinion over the highly detailed miniature model

In a recent tweet on X, multiple fans shared their opinion over the miniature model of Monaco GP. The majority of the fans had humorous comments about the Monaco GP and the mini model. One fan mentioned that the miniature model was ‘just as boring’ as the actual race in the F1 calendar. Another fan added that the water in the miniature model looked more realistic than the water at Miami GP, as F1 previously used fake water for the American race.

One fan added that the race sucked and failed to produce great racing action, regardless appreciated the highly detailed version of the circuit. Meanwhile, another fan added that the race was unrealistic as Max Verstappen did not have a major lead from the rest of the pack on the circuit. Additionally, another fan commented that the miniature version was ‘Magnificent and Amazing’.

Hence, as the sport nears the commencement of the first season, Fans’ excitement rises to an all-time high and they look forward to the season. The testing sessions have put forth that Red Bull would likely produce great results down the season and have a repeat of the 2023 performance.
